Dion handled my needs with fast and professional service!!

Brake pads front and rear for the same price as one axle at a dealership. Great service too

I came w an appt was denied service and treated with aggressive manner. Second midas location to give bad customer service in an unwarranted fashion. Calling corporate to get to the bottom of it. For now guys I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR OIL CHANGE. read more

I got lost due to the pavement being redone in the The Hat's parking lot. I am not familiar with the area. Thinking that the parking lots were connected, I made a right into the Midas parking. Realizing that was not the case, I turned around. There are speed bumps in that lot. Also there wasn't one human or car in sight. Yet this employee that has the nose of the Mad Hatter, yelled at me telling me to slow down. Numerous times. I was not going fast at all. I don't appreciate that at all. I am not a current customer but could have been a future one. This event insures that I will never go to a Midas anywhere. read more

Talk about hustle!!! I came here cuz my tires were about to go out and I had 45 mins to get to work in Dana Point They Totally made it work out for me They did what they had to do give me out of here and work on time and for an honest price, what else could you ask for read more

It's Midas... after all the other local places are slammed, and you know you are going to pay more, but the work will be done.. then this is where you go read more

I sent my mom to get our car fixed as we didn't have an appointment but needed it desperately fixed in a timely manner. Brody was kind a provided excellent customer service very quickly for our oils change. Thank you Brody for your help!! :) we will be returning to Midas because of you. read more

BEWARE. They did not put the oil plug back in my car properly and I lost all my oil. Thankfully I noticed a tapping from my engine and then the large pool of oil under my car before I drove and ruined my engine. Not only did they not put my oil plug back properly, but most of the screws for the cover on the bottom of my engine were missing. My husband was first in line, but the guy took other people first. After an hour+ later my husband said something. At that point the guy stopped working on the other cars to do mine. He was done so quickly that it actually concerned my husband. Well, that concern was justified. These kind of mistakes are absolutely unacceptable. My husband will be contacting you and I expect a full refund. Additionally, if there any issues with my engine, I will expect you to pay for that as well. read more

Shoutout to Dion! He was friendly quick and informative. I arrived at 8 right when they opened and he quickly checked out my car and I was in and out! Which I really appreciated since I had to get to work. Thanks again Dion for your quick and honest service :) read more

This location has provided the worst service I have ever experienced at a mechanic. After 5 days in the shop they did not call once to communicate that they did not have the tools to accomplish the task requested for replacing a belt. Now 5 days later I have to pick up the car and it does not work. Beyond incompetence Dijon was rude suggesting I write as bad a review as possible. No interest in any form of customer service. I recommend you stay away from this place! read more

Had a great experience getting my oil changed here so I wanted to share. I called around and they quoted me the best rate for a full synthetic service. The price I paid matched the over the phone estimate and they didn't try to up sell me on unnecessary services. 30 minutes in and out and it cost me half the rate the dealership charges. Coffee and tv while you wait and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I cannot thank the guys enough! I have a 2003 Ford F-350 dually and my front tire was leaking air crazy. I made the call to Midas and they said come on by. I got there a few minutes later and they got my truck in right away. Not even 45 minutes later and the tire was fixed and I was back on my way! Many thanks to the gentleman inside and their outside tech who dropped everything to get my work truck back on the road! read more

I went here to get brakes done and an oil change they quoted over the phone and i came in to get the work done. The tech over charged me $50. They then agreed and gave me a business card with a signature and a $50 credit. Fast forward to today and the manager wouldn't accept it. Manager says i got the discount. Why would i have a card from them for a $50 discount if they gave it to me already? The guy acted like he didn't believe me. I went to another place to get the work done. Don't go here, they are untrustworthy. There are plenty of other shops in the area that can quote and charge you the correct amount. I spent $488 at another place because this guy would not honor a $50 credit. read more

Many thanks to Dion for his honesty and great work. I had a nail in my tire. Not surprisingly, other places automatically said that the tire needed to be replaced but Dion knew how to repair it. He straight told me it's repairable without me saying anything and saved me lots of $$$. Thanks Dion! read more

I don't normally leave yelp reviews, especially not bad ones, but I want to warn people about getting their cars worked on here. I had a squeaky loose belt, which they kindly fixed quickly and free of charge. 5 minutes after getting my car back, my steering locks up and my brake light comes on. I immediately pull over to the side of the road and take it to the nearest auto shop. The shop mechanic opens up the hood with me right there and, lo and behold, my alternator belt is completely snapped in half. When I get my car back an hour later, they tell me the snap was caused by the belt being waaaay overtightened. If you need anything more than an oil change done, go to Scott's Auto Repair down the street. They so kindly fixed my car up after Midas messed it up. Taking my car to Midas was a $90 mistake I won't make again. read more

I took my truck there for an oil change, and they could not get the drain plug out. I understand that sometimes those can strip. May not have been their fault. But they essentially destroyed it trying to get it out, and then gave it back to me and basically told me it was my problem. They said the only possible way to deal with it was to get an entirely new oil pan. Anyway, I bought a replacement drain plug, and used an extractor bit for my drill that I got from Home Depot for less than $10, and got it out myself and then put the new drain plug in and changed my own oil. It really blows my mind that they didn't know how to remove a bolt that was stripped. I give them points for trying, but these are not experts by any means. read more

I had great service. Wasn't there to get my shoes shined or get my a$$$ kissed. Very friendly mechanic and great work. Highly recommend this place. BY FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE SERVICE I GET AT TESLA SHOPS. read more

I delt with James and Steve at Midas regarding our 07 Audi. Had a check engine light on when I brought it in, running rough and an oil leak. They let me know the issues that were going on with the car. Which ones needed attention right now and what could wait. Did a great job of communicating the work in a detailed manor, were extremely professional and all around nice people to work with. I have found a trustworthy mechanic and will be talking the Audi back there for service. read more

Midas - Tires Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Manny and his crew are honest, reliable and professional providing quality car repairs and service. The Midas team in Lake Forest did an awesome job replacing my brakes and rotors. I came in on the weekend frustrated as I had been trying to find an honest mechanic in Lake Forest/ MV that would replace my brakes at a fair price. Not only did Manny and his crew fit me in on a busy Saturday, he used a coupon saving me a little extra! I grabbed some lunch nextdoor and before I knew it my car was ready. That's the awesome service I was looking for. As a parent my free time is limited and I'm always looking to save money. So I wanted to say thank you and good job to the Midas team of Lake Forrest. My family and I will be bake for tires! :) Regards, Sgt. G USMC read more

I have ben going to this location for about 4 years. The location has just recently changed ownership, and when I went to have my brakes serviced, they not only found big problems due to the last mechanics with the prior ownership, they fixed everything and more! They even took me home instead of having to wait! And the waiting area has been cleaned up-truly thinking of their customers at all aspects. I can't express how humbled I am at these men! I am amazed and grateful to no end! My car now drives like the dream it was when I first bought it. Customer service people can learn from this MIDAS! Thanks guys! Laurie A. read more

My problem was minor but Marco the service manager was awesome!! He got my truck up on the lift and had me out of there in less than 10 minutes! I had just been to two different places that were not equipped to get my truck fixed. This store is great and Marco is GREAT!! Thank You, Martin Taylor read more

I came in today for an oil change and tire rotation on my wife's car. I told the manager, Marco, that I was in a rush and his team was waiting for me to get there! He gave me an excellent price and quick service. I will be back, thanks Marco. read more

Marco and his team are very professional and friendly...most of all honest. I'll be going here for a very long time and will continue to recommend my family and friends. read more

About a year ago the front tire on my grandson's radio flyer tricycle started to fall apart so when he peddled the front wheel, it went nowhere. I took the wheel to Midas in Lake Forest, they did a couple of tack welds on each side of the wheel and cleaned up like it was new, when I asked how much, no charge, just bring in your car or truck next time it needs works. Well around the holidays I brought my F150 to Tuttle Click for an oil change (my last pre-paid oil change) and they said I will be due for brakes on the next change. Just recently my warning light (Service Engine Soon) came on and off, then the other day just stayed on, just instead of bringing to Tuttle Click, I brought it to Midas. I told Marco that I needed brakes and to check the engine, and dropped off my truck after work on Tuesday, I wasn't expected the truck back until Saturday. On Thursday morning (10 AM), Marco called with my truck is ready. Wow, fast and inexpensive, and I know it was about half of what I would of paid at Tuttle Click, since I had similar service done a few years back. My truck is driving like new, and I'm one happy camper. Thank you Marco, excellent service. read more

No second thought that this shop is reliable and honest! Shout-out to Marco, the shop manager! Very honest and knowledgeable. They wont ripped you off unlike with the dealership (that's how run business). Brought my car for rear brake pads, but found out on the contrary that my both axles are still good and way the measurements that the dealership told me. Thumbs up and to Marco and this shop! read more

Hands down this is the worst auto mechanic place I've ever been to. My first visit here was good, with the shop manager changing the oil himself because nobody was around at lunch time. I was appreciative and I thought this was a good display of customer service. Unfortunately, he was no longer there on my second visit. On my second visit, I got my car back and immediately noticed oil on the door, on the steering wheel, on the push start button, on the gear stick, on the radio, basically any place a person would touch when driving the car. The mechanic had neglected to wear gloves, and in fact, didn't even bother wiping his hands. It's as if he purposely wanted to ruin the interior of my car. It wasn't oil smudges either, it was actual oil straight from the container. I immediately notified the manager, who then called the mechanic over. I asked the mechanic how he could not wipe his hands while changing the oil. He looked at me, raised both of this oil smudged hands, and said, "it's a busy shop bro" with a smile on his face. Well I guess all of the shops where I got oil changes before were not busy, because they somehow managed to wipe their hands. I got that oil change for free, but let me see. A $20 savings for a permanently ruined interior on a new SUV with 6,000 miles on it? I'll never ever go back here again. read more

I have been going to the Midas location at 22752 Centre Drive, Lake Forest, CA for the past 15 years getting minor service on several family owned cars. Midas has changed the manager several times at this location over this time period. The current manager has been there about two years. On my last visit I had the oil and oil filter changed on my Dodge Caravan that had less than 26000 miles. They also did the first tire rotation on a set of new tires that had only 7,000 miles on them. Problem #1) I returned the van two days later after I noticed that only the two tires on the driver side had been rotated. The manager challenged me on my observation and tried to dismiss it. After further discussion and pointing out the obvious difference in the tire wear it was indisputable what had occurred. The manager told me I would have to call in later in the week to make an appointment to leave the car. He did not have time to rotate the two tires that day. Problem #2) Before the van was scheduled for another oil change I noticed some leaking onto my carport driveway. I then took the van to a major auto repair shop. They discovered that the leak was from the oil filter. It had not been installed properly by Midas. The oil filter on this engine was located on the top of the engine and transmission. The filter was slowly leaking oil and running down all over the engine! The garage replaced the oil filter and cleaned up the top of the engine as best they could without pulling the engine and transmission. Unfortunately, the remaining oil residue on the transmission and lower engine that could not be easily removed continues to drip on the carport driveway. The engine and transmission will have to be pulled out of the van, steam cleaned and replaced. That is estimated to cost between $500 - $750. The manager was contacted about the oil leaking issue and what was discovered. He offered no assistance or concern over the problem. read more

My CTS developed a pulsation during braking. Since I had purchased brake pads and rotors from this location back in January I decided to take it in to see if they could resurface the Rotors. Macro greeted me and said no problem we will turn them for free. ( even though they only had a 90 warrantee). I have to say that Marco and his team are doing a great job since taking over this Midas location. Great to have this shop in the neighborhood. read more

I am writing this review as a warning or caution to those who are considering taking their vehicle to this particular shop. I am a nearly 60 year old professional who has been a loyal customer of Midas for many years. I usually take my vehicle to the shop in Mission Viejo but for the past couple of years or so have been taking it to the Lake Forest location. In the past I have always dealt with the manager, Marcos, who was polite, professional and helpful. I wish he was still there. I recently had an issue with my taillight/blinker not working and I brought my vehicle to the Lake Forest Midas. I was told the electrical plate the bulbs plug into needed to be replaced, which seemed reasonable and the repair was made. Since that plate has been replaced by this shop, I have had to bring my vehicle back several times because the same taillight would stop working. I tried to explain to "Manny" that the problem is most likely a short or loose connection with the electrical plate they replaced. Manny could not have been any less interested in what I had to say, would talk over me and at one point told me they "don't do electrical", although their Whitepages advertisement states they do. The very next day, after one of my several trips back, my battery was completely drained. I tried to explain to Manny there must be a short or loose connection but again he just talked over me and dismissed anything I said. Manny told me I needed a new battery and $200.00 later sent me on my way. The SAME taillight went out again and again Manny was rude and not interested in helping me but said he would have his mechanic take a look. When I picked up my vehicle Manny was not around and the mechanic, who was actually nice and apologetic, told me no one ever told him about the electrical plate they had replaced, so he re-worked all the connections and sent me on my way. Long story short, taillight went out again and when I tap it with my hand, it goes back on, indicating a short or loose wire. I brought my vehicle back today and told Manny what was happening. Again, he could not have been any less professional or helpful and REFUSED to complete the repairs his shop initiated. I asked for the District Managers phone number and Manny told me he is the "Owner" and they would just have me call him anyway. I told Manny I would still like the number and he wrote down a number that actually connects to Equifax. Dishonest ? Disgruntled ? who knows ... hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else ... good luck. read more

I had a tire with a couple of nails in them, and other locations tried to push me to buy a new tire, even though there was still some wear left, and I was intending to sell this car in a couple of months. Marcos wasn't pushy at all on new tires, and Pete fixed my car and I was out in a jiffy. 10/10 service. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Manager (won't mention his name) pretended to be my friend and give me great deals. Even took it as far as noticing my Christian sticker on the back and taking about his relationship with God. Told me my brakes and rotors needed to be redone. Pointed out a bunch of other things that needed to be fixed on my car that made it unsafe. Got me so anxious to think my car was unsafe for me and my kids...we even started looking for a new car. Took my car in for a second opinion and sure enough my car is not nearly in the shape he said AND my rotors can be resurfaced when he said they couldn't be. I feel so taken advantage of going in as a woman and him pretending to have my best interest at heart, especially after I told him I was wary of being scammed. Shame on you guys and your business! read more

I've been taking my cars there for years and have nothing but praise. Sean and Don are great to work with and they don't screw with you. One of their mechanics, Danny even helps explain issues in detail and shows you exactly what the issues are in detail so you know for sure you're not getting jerked around. I will admit they've had some unfortunate luck with turnover but I blame poor management at a higher level and lack of effective management training. Perhaps if the owner and corporate read enough of these, they will understand that mixed reviews mean inconsistent behaviors at the shop level, where customers are impacted first hand. I frankly enjoy going there and have had quality service over the last few years as well as those I've recommended. read more

Marcos from Midas went above and beyond to make sure at 2 pm on a Saturday we were able to get our tires that weren't in stock, alignment and service all before 6 pm so we can get to a special wedding. Every time we come to Midas Marcos has given us excellent 100% genuine care. Mahalo Marcos read more

Could ask for any one better. Midas is lucky to have Marcos in their corner! Mahalo for everything read more

Marco the manager took great care of me. Brought car in at 4 was on the lift at 4:05. New brakes and rotors in under an hour. Reasonable prices and good service. read more

Was referred to this Midas after issue with Mission Viejo, had used this one before for an exhaust replacement on my 86 SVO Mustang and was very happy then as well as when I came in for brakes on my Jeep Grand Cherokee under a groupon and rather then taking my money and doing the work they showed me I actually didn't need brakes yet so now a year later I will definately be going to Lake Forest Midas for my brakes after getting over a year longer on my current ones then I was expecting. read more

Came in today to get my front brakes swapped out since they were starting to squeak. I did not catch his name but dude with the beard wearing a beanie was awesome. He pulled my brakes and told me that I don't need to change them and also explained what might have cause my brakes to squeak. Anywhere else would have just taken my money. I will definitely come back to them when it's time to change my brakes. Very HONEST and awesome folks at this location. Highly recommended. read more

Pete was very helpful and friendly, he found out my problem on truck ASAP took it right up the lift no wasting time. I'm glad you guys could find out my problem. Thanks read more

Went from a phone quote of $250 to $1000 for replacement of a stolen catalytic converter. The shop around the corner was able to do it for $316. I heard stories about this shop many years ago about ripping off customers. I hoped it would be under better management by now. Not so. Stay away. read more

So I took my 2012 Kia Sedona for a second opinion as I was told I needed an axle and gaskets on my lexus. Took my cars in and got the best customer service ever! So I went back with my daughters 2004 BMW and I heard oil changes on theses car are expensive needless to say I was very pleased with my bill. The next day I got a flat and they helped me and my son! Shot out to Leonard and his team. read more
